Thought I'd throw this one in to prove that Craig Paton has raced his car... albeit well over 10 years ago.
C'mon Craig Warwick has been on 3 times and still it isn't there. You got just under 9 months dude......

I thought i had a run at surfer's in the bus!! And i do remember racing Darryl Yates in the chop top. That thing was that noisy I couldn't even hear
my car over his till i noticed that just before the lights went that my oil light and charge light were on!!
Yep it stalled and i couldn't even feel it!! I did beat Darryl over the first 30 feet......

Hi Brendon,I thought that was a figment of my imagination!
WE're close now, just waiting on some bits to be manufactured, some electrical work needs to be done,some stainless steel stuff and then a few
hundred k's on the engine.

Yeah pretty sure blue bug was Trevor's. Anybody have a pic of a dark blue metallic late 60's beetle with Porsche lace wire rims on it that was raced
at Action day about the same time. It was my cousin's car that I raced for him one year cause he couldn't make it. Think it also had disc brake
conversion painted pink(not my choice but Pagey loved it LOL) and had a sunroof. Early bumpers with no over riders too. Was quite funny as it had a
1640 in it and i was beating blokes with 1835's and 1916's quite easy LOL.
